Thanksgiving Is Over But The Discrimination Continues
Submitted by Dave Halliday
Virginia's Indians have been called "the forgotten people" but they are very much alive. These are the tribes of Pocahontas—the tribes that helped the first settlers as they landed in Virginia. In exchange for their help, they’ve received 400 years of racism, genocide, and broken treaties.
Today, the discrimination continues. The federal government still does not officially recognize them as “Indians.” Our short documentary, Ghost Tribes, examines why Virginia’s tribes have been overlooked for 400 years and why they deserve recognition.
There is something you can do. Ghost Tribes has been selected out of 400 films as a finalist for the Seeds of Tolerance film competition. The competition is based solely on YOUR VOTES, and we need your vote to get our message across.
This contest offers an unprecedented opportunity for publicity: Al Gore will present the winning film live on national TV—as well as tens of thousands of dollars for Native American causes.
Please VOTE and Forward. Thanks for your support!
Sincerely,
Dave Halliday

Family and Friends:
By the time you're reading this, we should be in 2nd place. I can't explain how important that is. We started off Tuesday in FOURTH--almost 300 votes out of second, and we made up the ground like we have something to prove. And we do. Ghost Tribes is an important story. There are a lot of excellent films in the Seeds of Tolerance Competition, but Ghost Tribes is the only film that can turn an overlooked state-wide story into a national issue. The timing is right: 2007--the 400th anniversary of the founding of Jamestown--is only 32 days away.
Let's take the giant leap we made yesterday and turn that into a running start for something REALLY big. By the end of the day today, I want to close the gap for first by at least 300 votes and turn this into a two way race for the win. Once again, I need your vote. If you've already voted, awesome, but don't stop there. Each computer will allow three votes, so if you're at home, ask your spouse/brother/cousin/next-door-neighbor to vote as well. Voting only takes about 30 seconds.

NATIVE ROSCOE DELETES NATIVE SITE
Hello everyone,
My website "Nativeroscoe's Entertainment" has been deleted from web space. I have accepted a job offer from a group here in Hollywood to help build a similar website with news and information. But, this new website will focus on Asian, Latino and Black performers.
I was approached last month after this group looked at my website and enjoyed my FORMAT and NEWS. I will have a chance to add Native performers, but only if they work in mainstream TV shows, Cable and films. What a great opportunity and I will be PAID MONEY for co-managing this new website.
These past four years have been fun and at times exciting for me. I thank everybody who enjoyed my website and who have given me the chance to support the Native Hollywood community. I know that the Fans will be disappointed, but I have to grab this new opportunity to further myself in Hollywood. Everything attached to "Nativeroscoe's Entertainment" has been and/or will be deleted.
"Nativeroscoe's Entertainment" DELETED
"Nativeroscoe @ yahoo email" DELETED
"Myspace / Nativeroscoe" DELETED
"Rp_ite @ hotmail Email" will be DELETED on December 10, 2006.
"AIAwards 2007" has been canceled due to the lack of Native roles in films, TV and cable shows. Nobody worked in 2006 except for TV guest appearances.
"AIAwards 2008" is still open for debate. But for now, that too will be canceled. I have asked my new employer about opportunities to co-produce other Mainstream Award Shows. There are plenty to choose from. They are producers themselves and said they would be happy help me move upward. This was my plan from the beginning to be a working PRODUCER and this new endeavor will move me toward achieving that plan."
Onward and upward,
Roscoe Pond
